Abstract

The structural, dielectric, ferroelectric, and energy storage characteristics of (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3–BaTiO3–BaZrO3 (BNBTZ) ternary ceramics were investigated. The presence of a tetragonal (P4bm) phase along with a rhombohedral (R3c) phase in the MPB region was quantified from the best fits in Rietveld refinement. Further, persistence of MPB throughout the compositions with substitution of BZ content was ascertained. Average grain size has decreased with the substitution of Ba2+ and Zr4+ions into the NBT-BT ceramics. Strong dependence of ferroelectric properties on the symmetry of crystal phases was found. The diminishing of covalent character has been found from the contraction of LO–TO splitting. Evidence for relaxor to antiferroelectric transition has been disclosed from the dielectric studies. A decrease in the remnant polarization and the coercive field with an increase in the BZ concentration is attributed to the change in long-range ferroelectric order. The prepared sample shows an energy storage density of 0.655 J/cm3 in x = 0.04, y = 0.04 composition at a temperature of 150 °C even at a low electric field of 40 kV/cm. The efficiency η values vary from 74.85 to 97.38% which is making the material a potential candidate for energy storage applications with better temperature stability of energy storage parameters.
